Idea of how to refactoring test cases, summary : Refactor production code with the tests passing. This helps you determine that the production code still does what it is meant to. Refactor test code with the tests failing. This helps you determine that the test code still does what it is meant to. http://googletesting.blogspot.com[..]07/04/tott-refactoring-tests-in-red.html Collections of idea of testing private methods - http://www.infoq.com/news/2008/01/private-methods-tdd-design , may be it is a signal of refactoring?

Summary: In this column, David Gelperin presents a problem familiar to many of us?what is the best way to record requirements? Given the limitations of static templates, how can we best manage high-volume, multidimentional requirements information? Read on and then share your experiences. - http://www.stickyminds.com[..]bjectId=5936&tth=DYN&tt=siteemail&iDyn=2 Why specs matter - Most developers are morons, and the rest are assholes. I have at various times counted myself in both groups, so I can say this with the utmost confidence. - http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/08/16/specs Explain why we should share the vision with the team - http://www.goodproductmanager.com[..]6/sell-your-requirements-to-development/ An OK article about scope changing management - http://www.projectperfect.com.au/info_scope_creep_mgmt.php Using mind maps and story tree to manage requirement - http://epistemologic.com[..]-user-stories-mind-maps-and-story-trees/ Interesting software for requirement management - http://www.technobuff.net[..]app/product/showProduct.do?name=jfeature Another angle to view requirement - not to blame, not to prevent responsible, just try to talk and solve problem is better than document - http://www.agileproductdesign.com[..]com/blog/requirements_considered_harmful Template and sample for spec. - http://searchsoftwarequality.techtarget.com[..]et109stru&asrc=EM_NLN_2350433&uid=703565 If you want to be a good product manager, understand unmet needs and use that insight to drive requirements. - http://www.goodproductmanager.com[..]/2008/05/06/stop-gathering-requirements/

Only the programmer who is going to write the code can schedule it. Any system where management writes a schedule and hands it off to programmers is doomed to fail. Only the programmer who is going to do the work can figure out what steps they will need to take to implement that feature. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000245.html Never, ever let managers tell programmers to reduce an estimate. Many rookie software managers think that they can "motivate" their programmers to work faster by giving them nice, "tight" (unrealistically short) schedules. I think this kind of motivation is brain-dead. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000245.html Micromanagement or Macromanagement? http://boncey.org/2006_10_29_how_to_mentor_programmers But, unfortunately, as a general rule, Project Managers have no training. Even if they do have training in the form of an MBA, MBA education is impractical and useless; the academic community has completely failed us in this respect. Furthermore, Project Managers are more often based on personal friendships and company politics; they are rarely based on management skill. And, finally, most managers do not acknowledge that management is a skill that they must study and learn so they don't study or learn it. http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com[..]DiscussTopicParent=8469&ixDiscussGroup=5 An explanation of agile, I think it is more about project management - http://blog.objectmentor.com/articles/2007/04/23/short-reach Some common problem of software project management - http://ajaxwidgets.com[..]thomas/9_reasons_why_software_project.bb http://ntschutta.com[..]ou-know-your-project-is-in-trouble-when/ http://www.goodproductmanager.com[..]roduct-management-vs-project-management/ Brief description of thoughtworks codejam - http://blog.nona.name/200804274.html Listen first.

1. Hiring is the most important thing you do at work and always hire people smarter than you 2. A manager’s success is all about making his/her reports successful in what they do 3. You cannot move up in the company unless you train your replacement 4. It is all about “relationships” and not “products” 5. Only viewpoint that matters is that of the customer 6. There is a big difference between products that customers will “buy” vs. products customers “like” 7. Be “market driven” and not be “marketing driven”. There is a big difference 8. Have technical and business arguments with colleagues as long as none of it turns personal 9. Have meetings before the meeting 10. Trying and failing is a lot better than failing to try 11. Execution is the key to being successful http://gopalshenoy.wordpress.com[..]arnt-at-solidworks-in-the-last-11-years/

http://www.whattofix.com/blog/archives/2006/10/signs_you_have.php You might not be agile if. . . 1. The “Send/Receive” and “Save As” buttons initiate most team communication. 2. Your whiteboards are mostly white. 3. “Test-driven” still refers to your car. 4. You don’t yet know what PHB stands for. (It's the "pointy haired boss" in the "Dilbert" comic strip.) 5. You know that CPM stands for critical path method of project management, and continue to rely upon it. 6. You spend more time trying to manage project dependencies than remove them. 7. Someone still believes in the “Can’t Chart.” (Oops, that’s the Gantt chart.) 8. Developers only develop, testers only test, and managers just manage. 9. Simplicity is presumed to be simple. 10. A change control board meets . . . ever. http://www.versionone.net/Resources/AreYouAgile.asp http://www.jamesshore.com/Blog/Its-the-Software-Stupid.html
